Cooperation among supply chain parties plays a paramount role in improving the performance of inventory control and designing a cost-effective supply chain. This study develops an integrated inventory model for a three-tiered supply chain comprising of multiple suppliers delivering multiple products to a single manufacturer. Our paper makes the following contributions to the literature. First, a grouping method is proposed to handle cost and order calculation for multiple products. Second, we evaluate the total relevant cost for both the system and the supply chain members by employing a joint economic lot sizing model under various coordination scenarios. Finally, we propose a loss-sharing mechanism to compensate supply chain members who are worse off due to coordination. We use real data of an electronic device manufacturing company in extensive numerical studies and provide managerial implications. Journal: Int.

We define lead time sensitivity as the extent to which supply chain performance curve, (e.g., demand fulfilment) reacts to delays in lead time. If a lead time change for a product causes a substantial change in the product availability, (e.g., a shortage leading to a non-fulfilled demand), it is considered sensitive. Through simulations using anyLogistix, we find out that variations in lead time sensitivity directly reflect product availability variations under disruptions, and lead time sensitivity coefficients can be used as indicators of resilience. Our approach contributes to research on supply chain resilience and ripple effect by proposing the concept of lead time sensitivity and can be immediately used in practice for stress-testing the supply chains. We discuss the practical application of our approach for different sourcing strategies. Journal: Int.

It has been considered a key determinant of warehouse performance. To increase order picking efficiency, several planning problems need to be solved simultaneously. This research, therefore, solves the joint order picker routing and storage assignment problem in the fishbone warehouse. We evaluate the effects of four main factors, namely pick-list size, warehouse size, picker routing policy, and storage assignment policy, on the picker travel distance. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results indicate, at a level of significance of 0.05, that each factor including all two- and three-way interactions have a statistically relevant effect on the picker travel distance, except for the three-way interactions of warehouse size, pick-list size, and routing policy. Four-way interactions are not significant at the 0.05 level. Computational results show that the combination of the aisle-by-aisle routing heuristic and within-aisle storage outperforms other combinations of routing and storage assignment heuristics. Our findings support practitioners in identifying appropriate routing and storage assignment policies for efficiently operating fishbone warehouses. Journal: Int.

Hence, investigating supply chain resilience strategies is very important. In today's competitive trade, supply chains are faced with different kinds of disruptions simultaneously. Disruptions may occur in the supplier facilities or in the production facilities. The previous studies surveyed these disruptions separately, but in this paper, we proposed eight combined supply chain resilience strategies. In order to compare the performance of these strategies, discrete event simulation is utilised. The measures of comparing the strategies are: fill rate, total cost, available inventory, on-time deliveries, impact time, total backorders and average response time under short-term and long-term disruptions. Each combined resilience strategy includes one supply-side strategy for responding to supply-side disruptions and one production-side resilience strategy for responding to production-side disruptions. Supply-side resilience strategies are backup supplier and extra inventory. Production-side resilience strategies are redundancy, reserved capacity, reserved inventory and increasing work shifts. Results showed that the backup supplier-redundancy (B-R) and extra inventory-redundancy (E-R) are better strategies rather than others in the natural stone industry. Journal: Int.

Specifically, the framework highlights that it is important for firms to choose the appropriate temporal order of adoption of different types of SSCPs in response to direct and indirect regulatory pressure. Several propositions are offered to indicate the temporal adoption of various types of SSCPs. Our proposed framework guides practitioners in responding to regulatory pressures, strategically sequencing sustainable practices, and optimising resources for effective compliance and sustainability goal achievement. Moreover, policymakers, considering both direct and indirect regulatory pressures, should strategically design regulations to facilitate the sequential adoption of SSCPs, thereby enhancing widespread sustainable practices and achieving broader sustainability goals.

Drawing on existing literature, signalling theory, and institutional theory, this study examines the effect of broad environmental engagement in supply chains on suppliers' environmental performance. Specifically, suppliers' own engagement effort and that of buyers are both incorporated. Further, it also evaluates the moderating role of buyer-supplier relationship asymmetries in the engagement-performance association. Panel data analyses of dyadic data indicate that a supplier's engagement effort with its supply base and customer base has a positive impact on its environmental performance. Results further indicate that a buyer's engagement with its supply base also has a positive impact on its suppliers' environmental performance. Interestingly, these effects are moderated by size and reputation asymmetries in buyer-supplier relationships. Together, the findings of this study provide nuanced guidelines for improving suppliers' environmental performance. Journal: Int.

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of supplier innovativeness on supply chain integration (SCI) and flexibility. Furthermore, SCI is explored as a mediator between supplier innovativeness and flexibility. PLS was used to test the proposed model. The data were collected from a representative sample of four and five-star hotels in Egypt through a personal questionnaire. The software used is WarpPLS 8.0. The results show that supplier innovativeness influences SCI and flexibility. Likewise, there is a positive relationship between SCI and flexibility. Specifically, there is a positive influence of internal integration and customer integration on flexibility. The findings indicate that customer integration and internal integration mediate the relationship between outsourcing supplier innovation and flexibility. Therefore, there is a direct and indirect effect between supplier innovativeness and flexibility. Journal: Int.

One of the most effective tools to solve the waste problem is reverse logistics, especially when mixed with digital technologies. This study investigates the impact of strategic and tactical reverse logistics on environmental and social performance in Egyptian firms. It uses resources-based view theory to examine the role of internal green integration and blockchain technology as a moderator. The research findings show that internal green integration significantly mediates the relationship between strategic and tactical reverse logistics and environmental and social performance. Blockchain technology can also moderate the direct impact of tactical reverse logistics on internal green integration and the direct impact of internal green integration on social performance. The study provides important implications for decision-makers and policymakers on the role of reverse logistics and blockchain technology in enhancing the performance. Journal: Int.

We find that longer DPO periods are associated with higher levels of firm operational performance (gross margin) and market performance (Tobin's q), and that the market share of manufacturing firms is related to longer DPO periods. We also find that the moderating effect of market share on the relationship between DPO and performance is positive for gross margin but negative for Tobin's q. A comparison of these effects indicates that extending DPO should benefit most firms. However, for firms with very low or high shares of their markets, the decision to extend payments may result in a trade-off between improvements in operational or market performance. Journal: Int.

If a lot is shipped in batches from the vendor to the buyer, subsequent shipments may be subject to different lead times. Establishing a common safety stock for all batch shipments may lead to an inflated stockout risk for early batch shipments and an unnecessarily high inventory level for late batch shipments. To alleviate this shortcoming, a few authors proposed JELS models that adjust the safety stock level over the course of the inventory cycle. Existing works, however, do not always correctly establish the relationship between the vendor's and the buyer's inventory. This technical note adjusts the relationship between the buyer's and the vendor's inventory and numerically quantifies the error's impact on the expected average inventory as well as on the system's expected total cost.

A deductive approach was deployed by building on a qualitative pre-study and various strands of SCM literature. All in all, eight hypotheses were derived and subsequently tested by drawing on an empirical sample collected from 130 global manufacturing firms operating in China. The data was then analysed using partial least squares (PLS) analysis. The results indicated that business performance was positively influenced by the extent of S&OP activities, which in turn proved to be positively influenced by organisational setup, information sharing and supply management practices. The level of supply chain leadership turned out to act as an antecedent to all of the three aforementioned S&OP activities. Journal: Int.

A systematic literature review identifies 45 articles, which are described, analysed, and classified. Based on 45 articles, the state of research is summarised, and three research areas are identified. The main categories derived include: 'strategic guidance of collaboration network', 'structure and operational management of collaboration', and 'risk assessment and management in the collaborative network'. These are of central relevance for firms in a collaborative supply chain in times of crises. Managerial insights regarding the design and alignment of collaborative supply networks are included in the article as well. The core concern is identifying the basic requirements for collaborations in supply chains during periods of crises. The main criteria for success are extracted and classified, based on a systematic literature review. Journal: Int.
